During Friday’s episode of The Paul Allen Show on Twin Cities radio station KFAN, Allen, Chad Greenway, and Alec Lewis opened the show discussing the intense cold weather in the region. One person mentioned the recent story about a Los Angeles Rams player putting cayenne in his socks to stay warm, and Allen mentioned the urban legend about trees “exploding” from cold weather.

Umprompted, Allen then interjected by asking, “In conditions like this, do paid protesters get hazard pay? Those are the things that I’ve been thinking about this morning.”

A few minutes later, the conversation switched to football, and Allen once again worked a paid-protester reference into a discussion about NFL coaching hires.

“Everybody’s catching strays this week. [Brian] Flores, Kevin Stefanski from Baker [Mayfield], Charlie ‘Biyatch’ caught one out of nowhere. They’re just all over, paid protesters caught one this morning,” he said, referencing his earlier comments.

    If protesters were paid, I’d be one of the 1%. I’ve been boycotting Nestle for DECADES.

      Not that they can come to logical conclusions, but have they ever considered who is supposedly paying them if all the billionaires and corporations are supporting Trump and the fascist government?

        Why george soros of course. Who else. They have no imagination. Israel superfans accuse their protesters of being paid too, won’t own up to whom is supposedly paying them, its soros when they do, if they think they are talking to a friendly. Sort of ironic seeing as soros is jewish, and a target for conspiracy theories.

        It’s all valid projection. The Jan 6 folks had free bussing and likely many were paid. Republicans are trained to accuse others of the very things they do. The criminals don’t worry now that the commander in crime and pedophilia has their backs.

          I was browsing conservative accounts on X with xcancel and other nitter instances yesterday to get a feeling on their reaction about the attacks on the 2nd amendment. What shocked me the most was how many of them had questionable content of underage girls in their feeds, it’s really disgusting and actually explains why they don’t have a problem with Trump being a rapist and pedophile.

        I never did understand the “battle” over a ball that isn’t even round.

        They seem to have enough money, why can’t they buy another ball and both teams can go home happy?

          It isn’t about the ball. The point is large muscular men in tight shiny pants continously bending over immediately before piling on top of each other only to start the sequence over a minute later.
